Based on the transformation processes underway in the region of North Africa/Middle East, the Goethe-Institut aims to encourage intercultural dialogue and cultural exchange in the scope of the transformational partnership and lastingly reinforce relations between Germany and Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco.
The Goethe-Institut, the Kulturwissenschaftliche Institut Essen and the Zentrum für Mittelmeerstudien are looking for young academics from the countries of Egypt, Germany, Morocco, and Tunisia for the exchange project "Scholars in Residence".
About the program:
Scholars in Residence is a residency program for young academic researchers that promotes the exchange of scholarly research and provides guest residencies for researchers in the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences to visit their colleagues in Germany and abroad. Young scholars are given the opportunity to forge intensive relationships with other researchers, to pursue joint projects and to develop long-term bilateral collaborations within an international context. The program partners a foreign scholar and German scholar who focus on projects that bear upon the program’s annual research themes. Within the focal subject matter, one academic each from the countries of Egypt, Morocco, or Tunisia and one German academic will form a duo team.
The Scholars in Residence research themes for 2012/2013 are:
- Climate and Culture
- Migration and Integration
- Culture and Conflict / Cultural Memory
- Science, Culture and Digital Media / Intellectual Property
- (City) Culture and Public Space
Residency in the host country lasts between six and eight weeks. The scholar from Egypt, Morocco or Tunisia will travel to Germany as of October 15, 2012, the German scholar will travel to his/her partner’s country as of January 1, 2013.
